Facebook has introduced a new feature in India that allows users to recharge prepaid mobile connections.
The feature is currently available on Facebook’s Android application.
The latest feature followed reports that the social networking giant is testing a new payment service in India.
The payment service will be integrated with Messenger, and remain independent of WhatsApp’s payment service (which is also in testing phase in India), reports Hindustan Times quoting Factors Daily.
Facebook has been offering peer-to-peer payment service on its Messenger platform since 2015.
The feature, however, has remained exclusive to select countries such as the US and UK.
